Just updating my review with another hugely positive experience! This is hands-down, my favorite Mexican restaurant in Houston. The tortillas are unbelievable and today I had the carne guisada and it was incredible! The cafe de olla is on point and the best in Houston! The owner is always there and greets everyone in the restaurant. It's a perfect spot. What can you say? It's great! read more

Casa Morales - Carne guisada and tortillas plus café de olla! - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

Revisited Casa morales. Disappointed in the taste of the food and the cups used to service their popular cafe de olla. On this occasion, the café was too sweet(cup was chipped) and the chicharrones plate tastes bland. I ordered a taco of chorizo con huevo to help with the taste. The flour tortilla was too raw and still had too much flour powder, that it looked like baby powder on my hands. I used the tortillas that came with my wife's plate of chilaquiles to eat the egg. That afternoon I got sick and decided to fast the next day. This use to be a go to place on my list, but I think I'll try the new options in town. Hopefully if I revisit in the future, it will be better experience. read more

Waited 20 minutes for a table than proceeded to wait another 15 minutes to order the server we had was new even the owner mentioned she was new and smiled away like no ma'am there is nothing to smile about if they know she is new why isn't she being trained the proper way or why does she not have another server by her side? Than we waited another 20-25 minutes for our food to come out even the guest who got there after ate and left in under 30-40 min my experience was terrible I don't recommend at all poor server she was all nervous even after I asked her twice to go ask for help ridiculous..Food was very MID paid 75$ absolutely overpriced read more

I was introduced to this place by a friend they have some really good prices the food is great and the atmosphere is amazing i love their barbacoa plate #6 read more

Very pricey. Every dish was overcooked and over seasoned. Had high hopes for it. Service was efficient but not friendly.

The breakfast was amazing was good as well My father and my grandfather and myself were in this morning and we had the Laura breakfast the tamales were really good wish I could had them a little thicker . And the eggs were really good . read more

We came to this quaint spot in Magnolia Park on the recommendation of a coworker. She vehemently recommended that I try the menudo. Jimmy cricket, it was hands down the worst menudo I've EVER consumed. I know, without a shadow of a doubt, that it was reheated in a microwave. Never, in my 60 years walking the face of the Earth, have I ever added salt to a menudo! SALT! The most basic component in any meal. It was horrible! The service was great. The cafe de olla was pleasant. I may go back to try the breakfast tacos but I have to wait till this so called "menudo" exits my gastrointestinal tract ..and that may take decades! read more

We eat here almost every weekend. The food is always amazing and the service is excellent!

I love this place. Service is always on point, food is immaculate i feel like im eating at my grandmas house. The giant tortillas oof amazing. read more

The food is delicious . It is easy to order on line and over the phones. The one thing I do not like. , is No Margaritas.

Went to try this place out for the first time today and food was great. The food is very authentic and they have handmade tortillas. Looking forward to go back in the near future to try out other items on the menu. Also the prices are very affordable. read more

Casa Morales - Jackies breakfast - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

A cute little local shop for authentic Mexican breakfast! My super sweet Airbnb hosts took me here one morning on a spontaneous outing, and I definitely enjoyed the homey feel of the restaurant. It seemed like everyone there were regulars or old friends! I didn't really enjoy the food though, but the pancake was pretty good. Both types of tortillas taste good, so go with whichever one you'd like. My hosts even packed the extra tortillas to make quesadillas at home! read more

First time here and it was delicious. Our waitress was nice and prompt. we will definitely come back.

Amazing food, amazing service. Clean establishment. The homemade the flower tortillas are amazing. I recommend the menudo, the red pork and the barbacoa. read more

Very home like feel. Friendly staff and quick to respond. Salsa was really good. Got a very family feel. The cheese they used was so good. Rice flavorful beans good. I just wished the tamale wasn't covered with cheese to get the full flavor of it. Taco was really good. The only bad thing the tea tasted like coffee. But water works too! read more

When you arrive here you automatically get a sense of welcoming. The food has the place smelling delicious and not to mention the Cafe De Hoya. They have a lot of dishes to choose from, but my all time preferred is the Barbacoa a La Mexicana tacos. After having had the tacos we order what is called a Gordita de azucar. The staff is always very friendly and it feels like you are a part of the family owned business. Definitely a 10/10. read more

This place is hit & miss! Sometimes you'll show up and service is everything you'd want from an authentic Mexican restaurant. Other times you're lucky if they bring you chips and salsa without having to ask for it. Same goes for the food. read more

Had the huevos divorciados w/ chilaquiles and flour tortillas. The tortillas and the food was really good. Had a great service and prompt. Will be returning soon to try something new. read more

Casa Morales - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

The employees are rude. The food was cold When we asked for them to reheat the waitress told us it already hot We informed her that it's cold to us and she sent the owner to our table Then the owner stated it was hot when made and it can't be cold if we had eaten it right away We informed her it was just brought to us and it's cold The owner made a rude remark took our plate and had it reheated. .. This is really sad. ... You get cold food,. Nasty remarks fm owner This is a pricey place and we pay for good hot food and good service This place doesn't give that J arrieta read more

Food and service was great!! Will be going back soon. Nice restaurant, feels like home.

The woman who waited on my coworkers and I was so sweet! The service here is excellent. I ordered the chicken fajitas and it also came with charro beans and rice. The beans and rice were the best part of the meal! The chicken was very over cooked (maybe it was just a fluke!) and the flour tortillas seemed too tough/chewy for my taste. All in all, it lacked pizazz. I would give this place another shot simply to try something else on the menu though. The people who work here (and/or own) this restaurant seem like very kind people. read more

Casa Morales - a plate of food on a table - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

This is definitely an authentic mom n pop place. The food is fresh, homemade, and delicious. They have freshly squeezed OJ (get the large), along with other aguas frescas. The one memorable part for me is the gigantic sized tortillas. They were bigger than both of my hands put together. I didn't think I'd finish my breakfast, but I was determined. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for something local. read more

Almost a year since my last visit and immediately noticed a difference in price and portions. They still have the same great taste in their food that has been around for many years making them a staple to the community. The tortillas are still huge and delicious . We can all understand a price change but portions the size of a serving spoon on your meats and the rest of the plate rice and beans isn't what this place was built on. Will be back for sure but will choose my plate wisely. read more

Authentic Mexican food , breakfast is always delicious and love the cafecito de olla.

My dad said this place doesnt feel like a restaurant it feels like home. If he likes it i love it! Food is great. Friendly faces. Thank you.

I admit I am selfish. I rarely give 5 stars to a business because "as good as it gets" sets quite a high bar. Plus, I wanted to keep this restaurant all to myself so delayed writing a review for several years. But it isn't fair to keep such a jewel hidden from my fellow Yelpers so here goes. Dining at Morales feels like going home for a meal. It is a small family owned and run business. Dad oversees the kitchen, Mom runs the front and the kids help everywhere they are needed, from the register to busing tables. They greet their customers as friends and are always warm and welcoming. No habla? No problem (but you may be the only English speaker there!). We first ate here years ago after seeing it listed on Marvin Zindler's Blue Ribbon Awards for kitchen cleanliness. We return regularly for the solid food. They serve breakfast and lunch only; no alcohol and no dinner. The early morning crowd includes "old timers" and brings a coffee shop feel. As the day progresses, families, couples, and workers from all walks of life come to dine and the restaurant gets crowded (moral of the story: come early!). The salsa is fresh and flavorful. Tortillas are the size of a dinner plate, freshly made and wrapped in a kitchen towel to stay warm. The food includes Tex Mex and Mexican fare from the San Miguel de Allende region. Their menu includes options perfect for indecisive diners who want to try it all: -juevos divorciados (eggs divided by beans and topped by two different salsas, red and green) -Alma's Snack Plate (crispy taco, enchillada and tostada) -Antijitos Alfredo (guacamole/pico de gallo, queso, asado de puerco, guisado de res, charros beans) -Epecial Morales (crispy tacos (choose ground beef), enchiladas (cheese, please) and a tamale topped with chili sauce) Other favorites include the cabrito, served on the weekend, swimming in a deliciously complex sauce with hints of herbs, peppers, and yumminess. Their crispy tacos define tex mex, complete with seasoned ground beef, lettuce/tomatoes, and thickly shredded yellow cheese. Friends rave about the freshly squeezed orange juice and rank the mole as tops in Houston. Even after dining there 10+ years, I still haven't made it through the menu as I cannot bear to miss the opportunity to have another of my favorites. Be adventurous. Try something new. Don't be afraid of the East End! read more

Wow use to go here a lot about 5 years ago. It has really changed for the worse. The food is just ok when you can get it hot but portions are very small. They use to have legit specials. It's looks as if someone else has taken over completely took previous specials away and tried to do a midtown thing ??? It's not working it's the barrio and families want traditional specials and something for their money. If you want midtown then open a restaurant in midtown. read more

Breakfast meals are great.. I've never had their famous cabrito serve only on weekends. I love the customer service and they make you feel as you belong(one of us) as they say. I recommend you try the breakfast tacos, chorizo con huevo is a must, their barbacoa is great, especially with their home made tortillas. Enjoy my friend.. read more

My favorite little mexican spot... great food, great staff, and clean! The breakfast is excellent and authentic Mexican food!!

I have been to this restaurant maybe 3-4 times and I can easily say this is the best Mexican restaurant in Houston based on price point and taste. Their menu is diverse and they cook everything to perfection. My favorite are the quesadillas especial as they are huge and sell for less then $5 and taste incredible! If I didn't live an hour away I would be here every single day. read more

We went for breakfast on Saturday morning. Chips were OK but the salsa tasted like Picante sauce out of the jar. I had the huevos rancheros and my wife had the caldo de res. My eggs were cooked to order, potatoes and beans were good.The ranchero salsa had good taste. I ordered the pork chop and it was good and fried to perfection. My wife said it was one of the best Mexican soup she has had in a while, just like mama used to make. The flour tortillas were huge, thin and dry but had good taste.The service was great and the coffee was plentiful. I would go back. read more

I love casa morales is an authentic Mexican restaurant with delicious food. I come once a week . Love the service as well they are so nice and polite making sure when you are there that you are okay. Will keep coming ! Love the breakfast! Delicious as always . Also sometimes I order online and they make it on a time manner. Just love them! read more

I must have driven past this place a few thousand times in my lifetime. After reading the numerous positive reviews on yelp the wife and I decided to drop in for breakfast. I must say that this place didn't disappoint. We ordered the huevos con chorizo with tortillas de harina and maiz. Both types of tortillas were homemade and to die for. The food felt so authentic I thought my grandmother was in the kitchen cooking up my breakfast like when I was a kid. It's been years since I've been to Mexico but this restaurant certainly gave me a sense of familiarity. Great food and great service. Very highly recommended. read more

This place feels just like waking up and grandma making breakfast when I was a kid in Mexico. I would recommend this place to anyone in the area. The tortillas taste just like abuelitas. My wife and I will be coming back often. read more
